Top game producer

Conference room!

Wang Jian said to the planning staff below: "This time, we will use virtual helmet technology to develop a food-themed game called 'Leisure Food Tycoon'!"

Although the plan wasn't explicitly stated before, the R\u0026D department's dedicated development of taste and smell simulation for virtual helmets was naturally in preparation for a food game.

Many staff members even cooperated with the R\u0026D department, tasting various foods and pointing out shortcomings.

Wang Jian's announcement at this time wasn't too surprising, as everyone was somewhat prepared.

Wang Jian had put a lot of effort into designing the game 'Leisure Food Tycoon'.

Because the simulation effect of virtual helmets can't compare to real food, in his vision, eating, while a key point, isn't the only core of this food game!

Finding ingredients, making food, plus tasting!

At the beginning of the game, players will be born on a small island with all kinds of ingredients.

Players can collect ingredients and cook on their own island.

They can also choose to visit friends' homes, freeload, or invite friends to have a barbecue party together.

They can also visit the islands of some NPCs to collect ingredients, buy sauces and kitchen utensils, and learn cooking skills!

For example, the Fertilizer Brothers, who specialize in bamboo rats and fragrant pigs!

Teacher Huanggang, nicknamed the Food Writer, specializes in heavy oil!

Aunt Mianyang, who specializes in delicious takoyaki, tonkotsu ramen, and refreshing ice cream.

On Teacher Guo's island, there are many plump and juicy kiwis, as well as blueberries and other fruits.

Lao Ba, a master of the dark cuisine world, sells stinky tofu, fermented bean curd, and Lao Gan Ma sauce at his place, and large peppers also grow on his island.

These people are internet celebrities in the food industry, and it will cost a lot of money to use their images in the game.

However, compared to the authorization and development costs of virtual helmets, this money is just small change.

After introducing the game's concept, Wang Jian assigned tasks to the planners: "The next thing to do is to enrich the ingredient library, with at least a thousand kinds of ingredients, and then repeatedly test and adjust the taste of various ingredients.

Then, set several rarity levels from D to S for various ingredients. The higher the rarity, the longer the refresh time. Each island randomly generates ingredients according to the rarity ratio. To get different ingredients, you have to visit other people's islands..."

After everything was explained, the game production began.

...

Time flies, and the production of 'Leisure Food Tycoon' is also progressing smoothly.

After using the Eternal Spirit Blade prop, the R\u0026D department suddenly had an inspiration explosion, which improved the helmet's simulation of food's smell, taste, and texture by several levels, reaching 50% of the level of real food itself.

But Wang Jian is already very satisfied. If the virtual helmet's simulation is too high, it's not a good thing.

What if the brain accepts the signals of deliciousness and fullness, causing players to lose their appetite in reality?

The current level of simulation is just right.

It's neither so bad that virtual food tastes like chewing wax, making you feel no deliciousness at all, nor does it immerse players in virtual delicacies.

...

Wang Jian leaned back in his chair, stroking the cat while scrolling through his WeChat Moments.

Suddenly, he saw that several friends were forwarding a video.

"No matter how big the world is, it's still smaller than a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes!"

Wang Jian curiously clicked in.

A young man in a jacket was lowering his head, pursing his lips, and staring seriously at something in front of him, as if he was doing a dangerous chemical experiment.

The camera moved down, revealing that he was cutting tomatoes on a cutting board. The hand holding the knife was sawing back and forth, cutting a slice of tomato like sawing wood.

Without a doubt, this young man is a culinary newbie!

After cutting the tomatoes, he picked up two eggs.

After hesitating for a moment, he smashed the two eggs together with a "clang!"

"This is my eighth day studying in the Golden Yuan Kingdom. It seems like I've opened up a new world..."

It turned out to be a student studying abroad.

He paced anxiously in the kitchen, sighing, and the sound of messages kept ringing.

"Hey, where are you all?"

"I'm almost there. Wait to taste my curry rice."

"I made delicious spaghetti."

These messages were from the student's newly joined friend group. They seemed to be preparing to have a party, and everyone had to make a dish.

The student was nervous and attached great importance to it, probably because it was related to whether he could better integrate into this circle.

He sent a voice message to his phone: "Hey Mom, I'm asking you, do you put the tomatoes or the eggs first in scrambled eggs with tomatoes?"

Then he looked at the clock on the wall, flicking a fork back and forth.

Everything showed his inner anxiety.

After a while, his mother replied with a voice message: "Baby, let me tell you, scrambled eggs with tomatoes is the simplest. First wash the tomatoes, beat the eggs..."

As the student clumsily cracked the eggs, large pieces of eggshell also fell into the egg mixture in the bowl!

Wang Jian showed an expression that he couldn't bear to look at. If he had to describe it, it would be: old man, bus, looking at phone!

In this day and age, are there still people who can't even crack an egg?

Even if you haven't eaten pork, you've always seen a pig run!

As someone who started making fried eggs for his parents on a small stool before elementary school, this scene was simply too awkward!

"Put oil in the pan... after it's seven or eight minutes hot... the tomatoes have to be fried until they release their juices..."

His father seemed to have joined the ranks of giving instructions.

The student flusteredly busied himself for a while, and finally said: "Mom, what are you sending? I can't hear clearly. You're not working!"

Wang Jian felt like he was about to collapse!

Isn't that clear enough?

You heat the oil and fry it, or at least search for it on the browser! You can study abroad, but you don't even know how to search? You have to bother your family for such a small thing?

The friends in the group were urging him.

"Ian, where are you? What are you preparing to make for us to eat?"

Ian replied: "Almost there! I'm preparing to make authentic Chinese cuisine."

"Great, looking forward to it!"

Just then, a video popped up on his phone, showing his mother in the kitchen, teaching him how to make scrambled eggs with tomatoes step by step.

Wang Jian frowned.

He immediately noticed that it was dark outside the window!

With the guidance of his parents, Ian finally made scrambled eggs with tomatoes successfully and received praise from his friends.

A friend asked what the time difference was between China and the Golden Yuan Kingdom. Ian replied, 12 hours.

He fell into deep thought. It was 4 p.m. here, which meant it was 4 a.m. on his parents' side?

Next, the camera turned to his parents' side.

At 4 a.m., the parents were lying in bed sleeping. Because they received their son's request for help, they started voice teaching.

When their son couldn't learn, the parents got out of bed again. The mother cooked, and the father recorded the video.

After teaching, they didn't go back to sleep, but waited in the kitchen for their son's reply.

This advertisement naturally showed the parents' love for their children.

Wang Jian scrolled through the comments below the video.

"Although it's an advertisement, I cried watching it!"

"This advertisement is too heartwarming!"

"I saw the shadow of my parents, so touching."

"So touching. When I was in the Golden Yuan Kingdom, I would send messages to my mom, and she would reply to me around four or five in the morning."

But Wang Jian wasn't touched at all, but rather a little angry!
